Hi,
I made my first trade, in the practice Oanda Fx Trade platform:
I went short on EUR/USD for 10pip profit. Details are the following:
short Euro/USD
enter 1.07297 stop 1.07397
exit 1.07197
order somehow seemed to be cancelled when price hit.
Here summary of activity and associated tickets:
I am not sure if I accidentally hit X of order entry box. However I didn’t receive any message saying order was closed. I did receive order was placed though when I initially entered the trade.
You did not receive message for closing the order because it was cancelled (as per the screen shots you posted). Perhaps you can check your history or log file to see what happened. All the actions should be recorded there. Did you contact Oanda to ask them if they detected some kind of issue?
Since it was my first trade a while ago, thought it would be helpful to clarify my confusion. “Cancelled” at least when it comes to practice fxtrade accounts means that order is closed and is no longer active. In this case it was because my target was hit, in “activity” tab of the trade window it assigns profit or loss, then settles financing and the final step is closing the trade to make it inactive by showing “cancelled”.
